A rare kitchen mishap
Jul. 28th, 2009 10:39 pmI am so disappointed. I had taken the greens (kale, swiss chard) I'd received from my CSA and immediately prepped them last Saturday, blanching and chopping them up to freeze. I'd stopped by the grocery store to buy ingredients, and then tonight I made a favorite recipe: kale and spinach turnovers. I was SO looking forward to taking them for my lunch the next several days. It took me about a half hour to make them, and I popped them in the oven and set the timer for eighteen minutes.
When I took them out, I discovered, to my consternation, that they had been burnt to a crisp.
Chagrined, I checked the recipe again, and then the oven. As I'd thought, the oven was supposed to be set at 350 degrees--except I had unwittingly set it at 450. No wonder they got burned. They're fit only for the garbage pail now.
I have been thinking that perhaps I need to get my contact lens/glasses prescription checked, because I'm having more difficulty reading small letters and numbers. This, I guess, just proves it.
Damn. It seems strange to be heartbroken over a lost batch of kale and spinach turnovers but I am really bummed.
